there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

I’ve been doing Spanish lessons for almost a year. My Cuban-born partner has been supporting me with encouraging comments like “well, I’ve heard worse accents…”

This week’s This American Life is about the first black mayor of Chicago. You might find it interesting. He seems to have been quite a character.

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

I’m sorry, but respectfully, you should go watch some Marx Brothers movies. And follow it up with a few from the Three Stooges.

Close up picture of a cat with unusually dilated eyes. The text reads “I’m Kat Patel I’m the director of the FBI”

Honestly, it would probably be an improvement. The cat looks way more competent.

Welp.

I use StarLink for internet access. I live in a rural area and it’s the only solution that provides decent internet.

Today they seem to have started blocking access to BlueSky.

So fucking petty. Argh. FML.

I mean, the reality is that crime is unusually high in areas where ICE is active.

Made a three course dinner for me and my partner. Except for the fact that the first two courses came out in opposite order, I think it went well. 🍽️🍜

I hate that guy.

Help me save my dinner! The recipe says to stir occasionally, but I’ve been doing it periodically. Should I start over?

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.
